Prince Harry is proving what a wonderful dad he’ll be after winning over a cheeky little admirer during day two of the Royal Tour Down Under alongside wife Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, is proving a big hit with both young and old in Australia. This, after he and Meghan Markle met with two adorable young fans outside Sydney’s zoo, and a 98-year-old war widow, Daphne Dunne, outside the Opera House on Tuesday.

Today, the royal parents-to-be made their way to the town of Dubbo where they were greeted by adoring schoolchildren holding banners that read ‘Dubbo [loves] Harry and Meghan’.

After walking hand-in-hand along the tarmac, the couple greeted the bunch of local school children who were gathered along the path, including one little boy who was particularly enthralled with Harry.

Cameras snapped one sweet moment when Prince Harry bent down to give Luke Vincent, 5, a big hug. After the embrace, Luke, a Buninyong Public School student, reached out and grabbed Harry’s beard at the chin, clearly fascinated by his facial hair.

Harry was in no rush to leave as the boy kept touching his face, displaying the patience and kindness he shows to all his fans.

The boy then handed Meghan Markle a bunch of flowers and was thanked and embraced by the Duchess of Sussex.

On day two, Markle opted for a more casual look, wearing a white button-down Maison Kitsune blouse with a gray Serena Williams Collection blazer, denim jeans from Australian brand Outland, and black boots with her hair in a low ponytail.

Meanwhile, Harry opted for a blue button-down shirt with black pants for the occasion.

Despite running behind schedule, Meghan and Harry were in no rush to move along, stopping to chat with all the eager schoolchildren and shake their hands.
